Non-Disclosure Agreement (One-Way) — Digital (Self-Complete)

A one-way non-disclosure agreement (NDA) in Ireland protects confidential information that one party discloses to another. This Non-Disclosure Agreement (One-Way) is a self-complete document for use in Ireland, suited to situations where only you are sharing confidential information, such as with a potential investor, contractor or buyer.

This is a digital, self-complete document from our Digital Legal Documents range: you download an editable document with guidance notes and complete it yourself. It does not include review of your completed document or advice from a solicitor. If you would like a solicitor to review or draft the document for you, find one through the Law Society of Ireland’s Find a Solicitor directory.

Before you rely on a self-complete document, check that it fits your situation. Read the completion notes carefully, fill in every section that applies, remove anything that does not, and keep a signed copy with your records. If your circumstances are unusual, or a lot depends on the document, it is worth having it reviewed. Keep the completed document somewhere safe, and review it whenever your circumstances change so that it stays accurate.
